CVSS v3.1
9.8
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ini versions prior to 1.3.6
Description
The issue is related to an uncontrolled modification of object prototype attributes in the ini library. This can be exploited by submitting a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with
ini.parse, allowing an attacker to pollute the prototype on the application. The impact of this exploitation depends on the context.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.3.6, update to version 1.3.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
ini.parse function until a patch is applied. Avoid using the ini.parse function to parse untrusted INI files.Exploit
